2-way design vs. 3-way design means ?

Just curious as to the sound difference between two-way and three-way, obviously a missing element on the two-way of the mid range. I own a three-way Cornwall and I’m thinking of going to one of these heavier and more substantial, build, quality, thicker walled bookshelf speakers.

I guess every speaker sounds different to every different human ear that listens …and it may be difficult to explain in terms of the sound. Obviously, a two-way speaker only has two drivers and possibly different interior components?

Like… what is the difference between a Fritz and a JBL century L 100?

And then there was the Bose 901. No way.

Up until recently, the best overall loudspeaker I have owned were a pair of Eclipse TD712z Mk Is. They use one very special driver in a very special enclosure. No crossover. Direct connection to the music. They are surprisingly good at moderate levels and lack only a small amount of high treble and deep bass. The imaging and soundstage are amazingly accurate—sometimes too much so. I owned five-way, four-way, three-way, and two-way speakers that only did one thing better than the TD712s. But my latest speaker is a three-way with four drivers. It is a very, very good three-way, the TAD Evolution One. It is better than any speaker I have owned and on par with many other configurations of loudspeaker.

My conclusion: The number of drivers and crossover design is less important than their execution in the speaker.
